That's basically acting as designed.

I agree that this would be desirable. These particular operational
attributes probably only be modified by the master and then replicated
to the slave(s). It would be interesting to see what the replication
drafts specify for handling of these (and other) operational attributes.

I think we need to come up with an approach to handle a wide variety
of operational attributes. I'm thinking it would be feasible to
completely control such behavior through ACLs.
